I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'arranged to dine with greene' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'arranged to dine with greene' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'dine' after 'greene' is 'greenedine'.
'greenedine' anagrammed gives 'ENGINEERED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
